I dont get this bottle talk at all. Liverpool have a good starting 11 but you wouldnt consider them a great team… probably shows the weakness of the EPL currently but at the same time you cant diminish from their feats to date in duke-ing it out with city.

Klopp recognized last year that the midfield wasn’t good enough and went after Fekir (sic) but it didnt work out so went for his second choice, Keita but that also hasnt worked out… there has been 5 goals from midfield this season which is pitiful and Liverpool are essentially banking on the top 3 to fire every game — on the back of a long season last year which was built on frantic pressing and then onto a world cup, I think the 3 lads up top have suffered more than the rest and are looking tired mentally and physically.

They are still in with a great shout … City have a ball of games coming up and a big trip to Old Trafford. The longer they go in Europe the more than might become the priority also - Pep is desperate to win it with another team to prove his greatness. Injuries are also mounting from them but their squad is ridiculous and then can absorb most of these and walk all over 17/18 of the other teams in the league.

It should be a great finish to the season - but unless Liverpool’s front lads kick into form, it could be another nearly story for the famed Redmen cc @Ralphie

Manchester City don’t play on Paddy’s weekend as they’re involved in the FA Cup Sixth Round which will give Liverpool the chance to go back top. Manchester City don’t make up that back match (at Old Trafford) until April 24th.

By then, they’ll need a win just to keep their deficit within two games’ worth of points.

April 14th will be the reverse of April 27th, 2014, when Manchester City slip at Crystal Palace and we smash Chelsea at Anfield.
